It is possible to have duplicate serial numbers for a product across warehouses [?]

Question

My client asked me to check if duplicate serial numbers for the same product is possible. I originally said "of course not, don't worry", but then promised to check it. The validation checks on a 2nd receipt with the same serial number does indeed give the required error message, but if the receipt is into a DIFFERENT warehouse to the existing item, then it lets me do it.
I couldn't find any posts on this, can anyone confirm if there is a valid use case for allowing duplicates? Or else I'll rais

Hi,
are there any updates on this?
I am facing the situation, where a client is having several serialnumbers being the same, but on different products.
This makes an error, when trying to import Inventory Adjustments.
Are there plans to enable that in future versions?
